SUPERFUSION SYSTEM
Cat. no. 14900

The Superfusion System 14900 has been designed to carry out release studies from synaptosomes according to the instrument originally developed in Raiteri's laboratory. The System is a great help to explore the physiological mechanisms of transmitter release and how to process is modified by pathological states, which will lead to advances in therapeutics. The 14900 consists of 12 parallel superfusion chambers to which media of desired composition can be delivered from upper reservoirs. The synaptosomes are accommodated as thin layers on microporous filters. Superfusion is provided by an optional muliti-channel peristaltic pump and superfusate samples are directly collected into scintillation vials.
